The Cat Who Walked across France

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Georg Hallensleben. When an old woman dies, her belongings, including a cat, are shipped to a city, but once there, the cat is abandoned. He starts walking and, at last, returns to his old house, where he's welcomed by two children. Banks uses a calm tone and precise details to describe the cat's trek. Color-saturated paintings reflect a loving view of France, both countryside and towns.
